"The way my training programme's written I'll be there two weeks before the games," he added.

Golder still has to get the qualifying time, and may even have to run the Island Games 'A' standard of 11.40 seconds for the event which takes place in Jersey from 27 June to 3 July.

"I've got to qualify first, that has to be the main aim," he said.

"I'll probably go away to the UK to try and do a run there and try and get the qualifying time.

"(To finish third) is a nice achievement as there are some good athletes here from Jersey. There's some guys that have run some quick times here today so we're looking to have a pretty strong athletics team for the Island Games and that's the most important thing."
